  • Why Pakistan Needs a Car Policy?
    PIDE KNOWLEDGE BRIEF No. 2021:22 February 15 Why Pakistan Needs A Car Policy? Hafeez-ur-Rehman Hadi, Research Fellow, Pakistan Institute of Development Economics, Islamabad. “Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.” ― Jane Jacobs Cities are the people, their activities, and the mobility people exercise. These cities, in themselves, provide the engines of growth for countries. Cities need to allow freedom and facilitate mobility; and not restrict. Equitable service delivery and access to city services ensure a robust economic activity and city growth; and, contrary, clique access to these facilities hinders growth. Mobility in Pakistan is one such exercise that has been usurped by the car-owners in the garb of gentrification, road infrastructure development, and converting public spaces into parking spaces. During past decades, the rate of car ownership in Pakistan has been on the rise. To facilitate the car owners, cities’ administrations often try to provide a robust infrastructure of roads so that the smooth flow of traffic can be ensured, disregarding the non-motorised or public transport mobility. The road infrastructure, therefore, makes the largest part of the development budget in Pakistan. The problem in doing this is the aggravated demand for new cars. When new roads are built, they seamlessly facilitate cars, and travellers find it easy to own a car for traveling to homes, schools, offices, and city centres. This article looks at the rising car ownership and facilitated road infrastructure by city authorities. We maintain that a large portion of a city or provincial finance is routed to road infrastructure.

  • Key Challenges to Sharing Economy in South Asia
    KEY CHALLENGES TO SHARING ECONOMY IN SOUTH ASIA A Pakistani motorbike case MASTER THESIS Zarish Zafar Student no. 105351 Supervisor: Qiqi Jiang Cand. Merc. International Marketing and Management (IMM) Date of submission: 12th May 2020 | No. characters: 180.079 (80 pages) Page | 0 ABSTRACT Culture plays an important role in innovation performance and economic creativity of a society. Considering that sharing economy is a product of innovation, culture becomes an inherited force capable of advancing or deterring behavior towards innovation. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the effect of cultural dimensions and their impact on the establishment and growth of sharing economy industry in South Asian countries: firstly, by identifying the barriers to a shared economy startup in this geographical region; and secondly, using the Pakistani metropolitan context to evaluate the feasibility of starting a shared economy motor bike business. In order to answer these two research questions, this paper takes an exploratory approach to research using both primary and secondary data, and makes use of the findings of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions theory in order to find out the deterrents of sharing economy as a result of cultural variation between the developed and developing countries, and of the PEST model analysis in the optics of Pakistan in order to evaluate the feasibility of a motorbike-based sharing economy venture, inspired by the business model of Chinese mobike. The findings of the paper show that the lack of resources from both market and supplier side in collectivist South Asian society and the lack of trust due to high uncertainty avoidance, high terrorism, high corruption etc.

  • The Impact of COVID-19 on Disruptive Technology Adoption in Emerging Markets
    The Impact of COVID-19 on Disruptive Technology Adoption in Emerging Markets The Impact of COVID-19 on Disruptive Technology Adoption in Emerging Markets 1 Disruptive technologies—defined as emerging technologies that result in a step change in the cost or access to products or services or that dramatically change how we gather information, make products, or interact—increasingly have been altering the development paths of emerging markets and of businesses that operate in emerging markets. Examples of disruptive technologies include artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, robotics, 3D printing, genomics, and distributed power systems. Disruptive technologies are far broader than digital services. This note presents examples of how disruptive technologies have been employed in emerging markets during the COVID-19 crisis; discusses market trends that may heighten the role of disruptive technologies in emerging markets post crisis; and reviews risks to and opportunities of faster adoption of disruptive technologies in emerging markets. Throughout this note, post–COVID-19 typically refers to the period beyond 2021, when the economy starts to rebound, according to growth projections from the International Monetary Fund. However, this time horizon will be affected by potential new waves of the virus and by changes in individual preferences with respect to reopening. The Impact of COVID-19 on Disruptive Technology Adoption in Emerging Markets 2 Key Findings 01 • The COVID-19 pandemic is exposing a large divide between high-income/upper-middle-income countries and poorer countries in digital usage and the availability of technology solutions to support the pandemic response. 02 • Despite the divide, disruptive technologies are enabling numerous responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in emerging markets.
